In the glittering kingdom of **Richmond BC**, where bubble tea shops bloom like cherry blossoms in spring and vanish like snow in July, one shop stands as a quiet monument to misplaced hope.

Say hello to **Chun Fun How**, currently ranked **866 out of 1053 restaurants** in the city. Not exactly trending on TikTok. Its reviews? Sparse enough to make Yelp weep for statistical relevance. And yet, it survives — barely — like a goldfish in a teacup.

But survival isn’t the same as thriving. And if you want to know why, just ask Rob’s **digital geomantic meter**. Result? A staggering **negative 15 Qi** — not just bad feng shui, this is *feng shui with a restraining order*.

Now, let’s talk about location. Or rather, the cruel joke disguised as one.

Tucked into the aging arms of **Garden City Plaza**, once the dowager duchess of Richmond strip malls, now rebranded with a fresh coat of gentrification paint — which, as we all know, covers everything except structural decay. Right outside Chun Fun How? A daily spectacle known as the **garbage bin parade** — a full-frontal assault of pig-iron lined up like guilty suspects awaiting interrogation.

If **Xixi** herself showed up with a clipboard and a scowl — and possibly a subpoena — she’d demand immediate relocation and camouflage of these bins. Then she'd politely knock on the landlord’s door in Hong Kong, or less politely, depending on her mood, and ask for a **rent rebate**, citing metaphysical malpractice and aesthetic abuse.

Because here’s the kicker: the landlord? Probably sipping tea in a luxury flat in **Tung Chung**, stroking a cat named “Profit,” while tenants like Chun Fun How pay top dollar for a spot that repels customers like garlic repels vampires.

And yes, there are **“for lease” signs** nearby — silent tombstones for other hopefuls who thought signage visibility and good energy were things they could afford.

So what’s the takeaway for our sharp, savvy readers from **Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam**, and beyond?

You know how real estate works. You’ve seen tenants in Mong Kok squeezed between noodle stalls and neon. You’ve watched mom-and-pop shops in Taipei gut it out despite landlords who think rent control is a myth. So when a tenant in Canada tries to make it work in a plaza that smells more like recycling than renewal — and gets slapped with negative Qi for their trouble — you don’t just sigh.

You reach for your red pen.

Because sometimes, the problem isn't the boba.

It’s the bins.

The building.

And the billionaire landlord watching it all unfold from 9,000 meters above sea level — and zero empathy below zero.
